32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

[3oh6]

i can run my corsair kit down to 54 tRFC
guess it all depends on the board and kits

must be that special hand picked ES board you got

i've seen a few people benchmark 7-7-7-x or 7-6-x-x- on 790i at 2GHz which is encouraging.............

i reckon it's just going to need some more bios tweakin by engineers but once CAS7 and CAS6 clocks get up to speed Superpi times will tumble even more....you would definitely beat your old score in this category with CAS7 imo

yeah, 2000MHz at CL7 will be interesting to see on the 790i. as it stands, 500*8 1:2 8-7-6 is a few seconds slower on 790i than P35 at the same with tRD6 and even a few more yet than X38 at 500*8 1:2 7-7-6 tRD6. so clock for clock it isn't as fast, unless maybe with some nice 54 tRFC (thats jealousy talking).

but...where it will pull ahead is at high FSB where we are limited to pretty much a single ratio like P35/X38/X48. the ability to tune memory clocks a bit better at 550FSB+ should give it the advantage there...hopefully.
